UAAP Season 78 is the 2015–2016 athletic year of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP). It opened on September 5, 2015, almost two months after the usual July opening of the league during previous seasons, due to the shift in the academic calendars of the member universities, including Ateneo, La Salle, UP and UST. It will be hosted by the University of the Philippines.^[1]

The eight-member universities of the UAAP will be competing in fifteen sports to vie for the general championship title.

Opening ceremony

The opening ceremonies of the UAAP Season 78 was held last September 5, 2015 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. "Philippine Archipelago" was the theme for the opening. A festive dance number featuring the rich history of the country and the eight vintas, consisting of eight universities of the UAAP, was performed by UP Dance & Performance groups including UP Streetdance Club, UP Dance Company, UP Dancesport Society, UP Filipiniana Dance Group, ROTC Symphonic Band, Tugma and the UP Pep Squad.

It was well attended with high officials from the UAAP Board and ABS-CBN Sports present. The host's (UP) President Alfredo Pascual and UP Diliman Chancellor Michael Tan formally opened the season. This was followed with the parade of athletes and the awarding presentation of the UAAP Season 77 general championship trophies.

A basketball double header to start off the 1st elimination round, UP vs. UE at 2p.m. and Adamson vs. UST at 4p.m. followed after the opening ceremonies.

The following day at the Mall of Asia Arena, La Salle faces reigning champion NU and FEU battles Ateneo, while Women's Basketball festivities will be start on the same day at the Blue Eagle Gym.^[2]

A Press conference was also held at Gateway Cubao, few days before the opening.
